I am a licensed professional clinical counselor in Minnesota with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I specialize in helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, career and health challenges, as well as a variety of other mental health disorder. I also have extensive experience supporting individuals through life transitions and personal growth.
I believe that you are the expert of your own story and that your strengths will help you overcome the challenges you face. Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I commend you for getting started.
In addition to my clinical work, I hold a Ph.D. in counseling and have been an educator for many years, teaching psychology at Bemidji State University and mentoring future professionals in the field. I am also a best-selling Amazon author and a regular contributor to local newspapers on mental health related topics.
Outside of my professional pursuits, I enjoy writing, traveling, aviation, SCUBA diving, hiking, golf, and cheering on state and local sports teams.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
